## Make this project
An unprinted organizer for craft stamping blocks, not a clamping fixture or a guarantee against scratches.

This recipe has not been physically validated. Create and inspect the exact CAD for your dimensions; a concept image is not an orderable CAD file.

## 1. Measure
- Measure each block’s thickness at the portion that will enter the slot.
- Record scalloped grips, raised handles and any permanently attached backing.
- Choose the insertion depth and visible label area for each block.
- Measure the storage footprint and comfortable finger spacing between blocks.

## 2. Give your CAD agent this prompt

Build a stamp-block rack using block_profiles, slot_depths, slot_gaps, slot_pitch, base_depth and label_keepouts. Make each slot independently editable and open at the top. Ask for the block shapes and grip features. Use measured or coupon-selected clearances, not a standard acrylic-block assumption.

## 3. Model and inspect
1. **Choose the storage edges** — Identify the edge of each block that can sit in a slot without covering its size marking. Sketch that actual cross section, including any grip scallops.

2. **Lay out varied slots** — Arrange taller blocks behind shorter ones or separate them by width. Keep a clear finger route to each grip rather than maximizing the slot count.

3. **Add labels and soft entries** — Create front label recesses and round the slot entrances. Keep labeling features away from the block surfaces and preserve a straight lift-out path.

## 4. Check the prototype
- Arrange the blocks in a cardboard slot mockup and check grip access with adjacent positions occupied.
- Inspect the deepest slot against the actual block profile and confirm markings remain visible.
- Verify the exported pattern count and plan the narrowest slot as a sample before full fabrication.

## Avoid this mistake
A slot can fit a block’s flat center but jam on its sculpted grip edge; measure the actual insertion profile.

## Choose the material
PLA or PETG can be considered for the rack. Evaluate the sample slot finish using an expendable reference surface before storing valued craft blocks.

**No payment at submission.** Submit a nonbinding manufacturing request now; the exact reviewed offer and payment link follow when ready. Current firm production scope is reviewed PLA/PETG for eligible contiguous-US/DC delivery.

### Agent submission steps
1. **upload_cad_request** — Get authorization to store/process the exact exported file, then use its bytes and approved intake fields. Save the returned request ID and file SHA-256.

2. **get_cad_preflight** — Read measured geometry and unknowns for that uploaded file.

3. **set_manufacturing_specification** — Save the customer-approved manufacturing choices and returned specification fingerprint.

4. **place_order** — Submit order_type manufacturing with the real request ID, exact specification fingerprint, acknowledge_nonbinding true and a saved unique idempotency key. Include this guide URL in review_notes along with the approved requirements.

5. **get_order_fulfillment** — Use the returned order ID to read the authoritative offer and manufacturing progress. A recipe URL alone never identifies an order.

Reconcile an uncertain result before retrying. Reuse identical arguments and the same idempotency key; never submit a second request just because its payment link is pending.
